It's killing me. We didn't have ducks last year and all the sudden we get ducks daily. They are disgusting. I'm wondering if there is a trick to making them find a new home.

Hello, we just had our pool winterized about 2 weeks ago. I was expecting the company to add some chemicals but they didnt. Their reasoning was that it was too cold for any growth to happen so it would be a waste. So they just blew out the lines and removed and added plugs where needed. Is this...

Hey guys, I am trying to figure out a way to add some sort of auto fill option to my already completed pool. Our lovely builer obviously did not know that an autofill is a must when you have an infinity edge. The catch basin is about 18" deep (staying above wall suction lines) and is 17' long...

Hello, we recently put in our inground pool. We are new to the pool world and didnt do much research until after the fact. (smart, I know) We have an infinity edge and we were never offered or told about an autofill option, which makes it very difficult to operate the infinity edge regularly...

This may be a really dumb question but I'm new to the pool world. A couple of you advised me to add borates once i get my ph down. I think I'm finally down to 7.2-7.3 but because of my infinity edge, waterfall, an spa spill overs I get a ton of aeration. How do I add borates and where do I get...

Hey guys as always thanks in advance. I'm wondering if there is a trick to stopping the ph rise that is coming from the 2 spillovers coming from the spa into the pool and the infinity edge. We also have an infinity edge that is about 17 linear feet. I would like to run the infinity edge daily to...
